Step 5: Signal Routing
1. Route the PWM / ZCD_EN# / DSBL# / THWn signal
traces out of the top left corner next DrMOS pin 1.
2. PWM signal is very important signal, both signal and
return traces need to pay special attention of not letting
this trace cross any power nodes on any layer.
3. It is best to “shield” traces form power switching nodes,
e.g. V
SWH
, to improve signal integrity.
4. GL (pin 27) has been connected with GL pad internally
and does not need to connect externally.
Step 6: Adding Thermal Relief Vias
1. Thermal relief vias can be added on the V
IN
and P
GND
pads to utilize inner layers for high-current and thermal
dissipation.
2. To achieve better thermal performance, additional vias
can be put on V
IN
plane and P
GND
plane.
3. V
SWH
pad is a noise source and not recommended to put
vias on this plane.
4. 8 mil drill for pads and 10 mils drill for plane can be the
optional via size. Vias on pad may drain solder during
assembly and cause assembly issue. Please consult
with the assembly house for guideline.
Step 7: Ground Connection
1. It is recommended to make single connection between
C
GND
and P
GND
and this connection can be done on top
layer.
2. It is recommended to make the whole inner 1 layer (next
to top layer) ground plane and separate them into C
GND
and P
GND
plane.
3. These ground planes provide shielding between noise
source on top layer and signal trace on bottom layer.
